As Title states - please get the launcher fixed. Down to I assume the last file to be downloaded (600mb) and near the last few MB of patch verification it fails and states repair is necessary. After scanning multiple files and another 2-300MB downloads, there is now a 6.6GB download - bigger than the dang DLC/Patch itself when the game itself worked the previous evening.
On a whim I shut down the launcher and ran it again - all of a sudden the game was playable and was able to log in. This is certainly not the first time this happened and would certainly have expected it to be fixed long before now.
Another suggestion: Why do we have to constantly redownload the launcher advertisements each time it's ran? Why can't it simply save the ads and do a check for updates - if none (a simple and minimal download check) it uses the previously downloaded ones.

vyrusb23✭✭✭✭✭As a temporary workaround you can use the executable file instead of the launcher if it has successfully updated (which it sounds like it did if you were able to log in and play).
But I do agree with you ... the launcher is borked and needs to be fixed.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I stopped using the launcher months ago unless I need to patch the game. Even if I use the launcher to patch the game, I shut it down and use the shortcut to the exe to load the game.
I got tired of all the patch manifest error messages, which were meaningless really, as the main reason I stopped using the launcher. That and it's habit of updating the PTS when I was playing Live and causing issues in the game with lag and such.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
